HANK HAGENBARTH Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Beaverhead County's HANK HAGENBARTH, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. HAGENBARTH rushed for 79 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.
Beaverhead County's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-1. HAGENBARTH and Beaverhead County are taking a road trip to challenge Hamilton at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Carson Gulick Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Whitefish got the W thanks in part to Carson Gulick playing the best football he has all season. Gulick rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 139 yards and three touchdowns.
Gulick and Whitefish will take on Stevensville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Yellowjackets, probably because Gulick had a solid game then too: he threw for 214 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
